Jewels for your Garden! Named after famous ballerinas... these stakes were made to adorn flower beds, landscapes, even Orchid pots... Having made several of these, I found it was time to offer them to you. They're made with Heavy 8 gauge solid copper wire and glass. There will be slight variations from these originals as these 'dancers' are only a representation of the piece you order... With time, copper ages to a fine patina...Simply 'screw' the base of the stem into your soil and Voila! Dancers dans les Fleurs... Heights vary and are made to your request because of their size, garden dancers will only be shipped priority mail, based on their weight.
